100
Define active site
The place where the substrate binds
100

Can all enzymes always work effectively at pH of 1?

No. Enzymes will denature at that pH

100
Enzymes end in what three letters?
-ase
100
How does an enzyme act as a catalyst?
It speeds up chemical reactions
100

when is my birthday?

may 7th 2004

200
Define enzymes
Protein that speeds up chemical reactions
200

What is an activator? How does it help an enzyme?

Activators help the enzymes work harder and faster

200
What type of macromolecule is an enzyme?
Protein
200
Can a single enzyme be used over and over?
YES!

when did I come to the najah?

8th grade second semester 

300
Define product
The substance that results from a chemical reaction
300

Why can't our body just use the disaccharide lactose (like in milk)? What happens to lactose when we drink milk?

Lactose is too big for our cells. Enzymes break down lactose into two monosaccharides (glucose and galactose)

300
How many DIFFERENT SHAPED substrates can fit into one active site?
only one substrate can fit into a specific active site
300
What has more energy, reactants or products?
Reactants

400

Define Substrate 

is a molecule upon which an enzyme acts. (goes in)

400

Why is having enzymes in our body so important?

Our body needs enzymes to help chemical reactions occur quicker. Enzymes help our bodies work effectively/to their greatest potential.

400
Why are doctors so concerned with extremely high body temperatures (103, 104, etc)?
Important enzymes will denature, harming your body
400
Why is an enzyme complex always compared to a "lock and key"?
There is only one type of key that will fit into a lock, as there is only one type of substrate that will fit into the active site of an enzyme.
400

What type of nurse do I want to become?

L&D

500

Define denature 

Anything that changes the shape of an enzyme

500

Name ALL five controls for an enzyme

temperature, pH, activators, inhibitors, substrate consentration

500

How are competitive inhibitors different from non-competitive inhibitors?

Competitive inhibitors compete for the same active site as the intended substrate. non-competitive inhibitors bind to a different active sight on the same enzyme (changing the shape of that enzyme)

500

Scientifically describe "lactose intolerance"

Your body does not have the enzyme lactase and therefore cannot digest the sugar lactose properly, making you feel sick/uncomfortable when you eat/drink things with lactose
